A first look at classical dance

An introduction to classical dance that begins with what defines a classical dancer, then widens the lens to forms from ballet and synchronized swimming to Kabuki. The book also considers how dancers move and whether they dance alone or with others, giving young children several ways to notice dance across different traditions. As the first entry in a series that introduces ballet, hip-hop, and jazz, it opens the series with classical dance and connects the subject to movement children can explore at home or in their community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children encountering dance for the first time
  • Families looking for a dance-themed book to share and explore together
  • Readers interested in an introductory look at classical dance forms from around the world

Book overview

The first in a series that introduces three major dance families: ballet, hip-hop, and jazz, from a world-renowned early childhood educator and performer.

This first introduction to classical dance begins with a simple explanation of what defines a classical dancer. Young readers are then invited on a global exploration of different classical dances, from ballet to synchronized swimming to Kabuki; the ways dancers move; and who they move with.

This encouraging dance series will inspire young children to dance in their home or in their community, in socks or ballet shoes, and alone or with others.
